had been provided for us at the house of one of
the professors, whose easy civility quickly made
us forget that we were strangers; and in the
whole time of our stay we were gratified by every
mode of kindness, and entertained with all the
elegance of lettered hospitality. In the morning
we rose to perambulate a city which only history
shows to have once flourished; and surveyed the
remains of ancient magnificence, of which even
the ruins cannot long be visible, unless some care
be taken to preserve them; and where is the
pleasure of preserving such mournfhl memorials ?
They have been till very lately so much neglect-
ed, that every man carried away the stones, who
fancied that he wanted them. The university
within a few years consisted of three colleges,
but is now reduced to two; the college of St.
Leonard being lately dissolved by the sale of its
buildings and the appropriation of its revenues to
the professors of the two others. The chapel of
the alienated college is yet standingxe2x80x94a fabric
not inelegant of external structure; but I was
always by some civil excuse hindered from enter-
ing it. The dissolution of St. Leonard’s college
was doubtless necessary; but of that necessity
there is reason to complain. It is surely not
without just reproach, that a nation, of which the
commerce is hourly extending and the wealth, in-
creasing, denies any participation of its prosperity
to its literary societies, and, while its merchants
or its nobles are raising palaces, suffers its uni-
versities to moulder into dust.” In the year 1683,
the tomb of bishop Kennedy in the college church
was opened, and six silver maces were found in
it of very beautiful workmanship. The other
religious structures of this town are interesting
for their i ntiquity; and the principal church,
which is sufficiently large to hold between two
and three thousand people, contains ihe monument
of archbishop Sharpe, who was murdered near
the town by the covenanters, and whose tragical
history is displayed in rude sculpture on one of
the walls.

Till the Reformation, St. Andrew’s enjoyed the
high distinction of being the metropolitan see of
the Scottish kingdom. It also carried on a profit-
able trade; and, in the time of Charles I., posses-
sed between thirty and forty vessels. Both its
commerce and its manufactures have of late years
been reduced to a low ebb, and the manufacture of
golf-balls is now the only one that exists. It is
associated with Dundee, Cupar, Perth, and Forfar,
in sending one member to parliament. It is seat-
ed at the bottom of a bay, on the level top of a
small hill, 30 m. N. N. E. of Edinburgh. Long.

and 8 broad. It is one of the ancient Cyclades.
It has fertile plains, which are well watered; and
it wants only a good harbour. The inhabitants
are of the Greek church, and have a bishop and
several monasteries. The principal riches of this
sland consist in silks, and the fields produce oran-
ros, citrons, mulberries, pomegranates, and figs.
ihe capital is of the same name ; and about two
miles from it are to be seen the ruins of a strong
wall, with the fragments of many columns, chapi-
ters, bases, broken statues, and several inscriptions,
some of which mention the senate and people of
Andros, .and the priests of Bacchus; from which
it is probable that this was the site of the ancient
city ; Long. 25. 2. E. lat 38.0. N.

Here lies interred with her ancestors, the renown-

gers was founded in 1398, and the academy of
Belles Lettres in 1685. It has a considerable
